The window was closed, the door was closed, and Mr. Mott, sitting in an easy chair with his feet up, was aroused from a sound nap by the door opening to admit a young man, who, deserted by Mrs. Pett, stood bowing awkwardly in the doorway. "Is Miss Garland in?" he stammered. Mr. Mott rubbed the remnants of sleep from his eyelids. "She has gone for a walk," he said, slowly.
During the six weeks that many of us remained in London after the convention we were invited to a succession of public and private breakfasts, dinners, and teas, and on these occasions it was amusing to watch Mrs. Fry's sedulous efforts to keep Mrs. Mott at a distance. If Mrs. Mott was on the lawn, Mrs. Fry would go into the house; if Mrs. Mott was in the house, Mrs.
It seemed for some reason to be a day of leisure with the Chinese dwellers in Mott Street, which March had been advised to take first.
As they turned into the campus, Mott suddenly broke away from his captors who had been somewhat deceived by the apparent willingness with which he had followed them, and began to run swiftly back toward the college buildings.
Mott's funeral, said: "The 'vagaries' of the Anti-slavery struggle, in which Lucretia Mott took a leading part, have been coined into law; and the 'wild fantasies' of the Abolitionists are now the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments to the National Constitution.... The 'infidel' Hicksite principles that shocked Christendom are now the cornerstones of the liberal religious movement in this country."
"Tia Juana, who am I?" he repeated, with his stern eyes looking into hers. A frightened look came in the old woman's face. She fumbled with her black shawl.

"I thought to be buried under the coma mott beyond the garden before these things should be known.
Take that!" and let fly with such energy that the "Examiner" fell in fragments to the ground. It was a scene of wild hilarity, for even the teachers threw off their wonted airs of decorum, and entered into the spirit of the occasion, and to see severe Miss Mott throwing for cocoa-nuts, and fat little Fraulein hopping across the lawn, were by no means the least entertaining items in the programme.
One or two of the men were lounging lazily on the forecastle deck. Caine was reading a book of travels I had lent him the previous day. Were we all, as Mott believed, the victims of a stupid nightmare? Or could it be true that beneath all this peace boiled a volcano ready at any minute for an eruption? Mott returned in an unpleasant mood.
Four volumes. HALLOWELL, A.D. James and Lucretia Mott; Life and Letters. JOHNSON, OLIVER. William Lloyd Garrison and his Times. LOSSING, BENSON J. Life of George Washington, a Biography, Military and Political. Three volumes. MATHER, COTTON. The Life and Death of the Reverend John Elliot who was the First Preacher of the Gospel to the Indians in America. The third edition carefully corrected.
Not all the moral earnestness of Garrison, the matronly dignity of Lucretia Mott, the lovely voice and refined manners of Lucy Stone, nor the magnificent oratory of Wendell Phillips, could atone for these sights and sounds. Lowell had written: "Then to side with Truth is noble, when we share her wretched crust, Ere her cause bring fame and profit, and 'tis prosperous to be just."
